Preface to the Second Edition
Sincethepublicationofthefirstedition,therequirementsforthedesignofconcrete
structures have gone through a number of changes as reflected in the American
Concrete Institute, ACI 318 publication. The latest revision of the Code was
published in 2014 and represents the state-of-the-art of the current knowledge in
concreteandreinforcedconcretedesign.Thisrevision,ACI318-14,formsthebasis
ofthesecondeditionofthistextbook.
Thebookretainsthefeaturesthatmadeitwellreceivedbystudents,instructors,
and practitioners alike. The popular step-by-step approach of problem solving,
augmented by flowcharts and supported by numerical solutions, clearly describes
the processes that need to be followed to provide safe and economical designs of
reinforced concrete components. The self-experiments included at the end of the
chaptershelpstudentsbetterunderstandthebehaviorofconcretestructuresthrough
theconstructionandtestingofscaledmodels.
To make the book more useful to students in Construction Engineering pro-
grams,anewchapter(Chapter8)onformworksformonolithicconcreteconstruc-
tionhasbeenadded.Thischaptercoversthefundamentalsofformworkandshoring
design, and detailed step-by-step solutions of numerical problems along with
mathematical formulae and tables to help students and practitioners to design
these temporary structures. In addition, to provide more visual clarifications of
the topics discussed in the book, a new appendix (Appendix B) is added, which
includes color images of various stages of concrete construction and completed
buildings.

Preface to the First Edition
Theintendedaudienceofthisbookisarchitecturalengineering,undergraduatecivil
engineering,buildingconstruction,andarchitecturestudents.Themanuscriptcom-
plies with the provisions ofthe ACI Code 318-05.The easy tofollow style of the
text makes it valuable to engineering and nonengineering students. Furthermore,
educatorsandpractitionersinterestedintheanalysisanddesignofconcretestruc-
turesbasedonthelatestACICodeprovisionsmayalsobenefitfromit.
Chapter1coversthetopicofconcretetechnology.Itdiscussesthemostimpor-
tantproperties ofthemain componentsofreinforced concrete.Thistechnology is
essentialforbotharchitectureandengineeringstudents.
Chapter 2 discusses the analysis and design of rectangular beams and one-way
slabs,includingacompletetreatmentoftheUnifiedDesignMethodasrecommended
by the ACI 318-05. Several examples demonstrate the provisions of the latest
changesintheACICode.Itiswrittentobenefitarchitectureandengineeringstudents
aswell.Dependingonthemainobjectivesofthecourseandclasstimeconstraints,
the instructor can select the specific topics and their details to be included for the
intendedaudience.
Chapter 3 “Special Topics in Flexure” covers T-beams, doubly reinforced
beams, and a discussion of the deflection of reinforced concrete beams and slabs.
These topics aremorecomplex,butindispensable inthedesignofconcrete struc-
tures. The detailed technical information presented is essential for engineering
students. We recommend that only a brief discussion of each topic be used in
coursesforarchitecturestudents.
Chapter 4 “Shear in Reinforced Concrete Beams” covers the design of shear
reinforcements in reinforced concrete beams. We consider this chapter to be
important in both engineering and architecture courses. The depth of coverage
maybelefttothediscretionoftheinstructor.
Chapter 5 covers the analysis and design of reinforced concrete columns.
It includes a complete treatment of “short” columns with small and large eccen-
tricities. Because most reinforced concrete columns are short and a complete
treatment of slender columns is usually only covered in advanced engineering
